T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that l, C-iiainsns A. (human, a citizen of the United fitates. residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain linprovelnenss in Measu1*ing-?urnps, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to m chanism designed for ihe purpose of dispensing or de livering measured quaniities of liquid, and the ohjecs of my invention is to construct a pump for measuring liquids in dilierent quantities, and to provide means, simultaneously operable with the pumping mechanism for independently registering the several quantities or" liquid delivered. These and other features of my invention are more fully described hereinafter, reference heing had to the" accompanying drawings, in

the parts when she pump rod has been raised to register one gallon of liquid; Fig. 9, is a sectional plan. view on the line -99,, Fig. 1; Fig. 10. is a detail of a cam and shafi. which I employ; Fig. 11, is a detached perspective view of certain elements used in mypiinproved structure; Fig. 12, is a perspective view of a double ended lever which '1 cmploy; Fig. 13-3, is a vievv of modified means for shifting the register actuating machanism. and Fig. 14., is a view showing a modified structure within the scope of my invention. I

While the structure forming the subject of my'invei'ition is particularly adapted for measuring and registering small quantities 7' which bears against a collar f secured to of liquids, such as whisky, and also for measuring oils. gasolenc. and the lil e.,ii; is designed and intended for accurately H1638 uring and registering any liquid. ln'the present instance the pump is designed'for measurin;r. delivering and registering halfpints. pints, quarts and o allonsbut it will be. understood that the quantities may he varied as desired.

In the accompanying drawings, A is a casing, within which is a pump rod B having a rack b at one side, with which meshes a pinion on a shaft C, having an operating handle C. The lower end of the rod B carries a plunger (Z mounted in a pump cylinder 1). This plunger carries check valves (1 which open on the down stroke and close on the up stroke. The pumping mechanism is provided with a nozzle a, connected to the upper end of the pump cylinilor D by a pipe a through which liquid is nforced from the pump cylinder for discharge through said nozzle. The lowen oflhe cylinder D is connected by a pipe to/a containerE for the liquid, and this container may be a barrel, as indicated in Fig. 7, Or -any other suit-- able vessel. 1 o i Secured so the pump rod B is a trip arm 7/ said pump rod B and arm I), constituting a pumping device. The arm I), is arranged to come in contact with any one of a' series of arms or measuring stops 7, f, f f secured to a register-actuating rod 1*, which is r0tatable to bring any one of said arms or stops into alineineni, with the trip arm I); said rod F beingcapablc of slight Vertical movement for a purpose hereinafter set forth. of the four arms shown in the present instance, one is for half-pints; one for pints; one for quarts, and one fongallons G is a registering device having four independent regisiers g, g, g 9 as shown in Fig. 3. These registers have projecting arms h, acted upon by a plunger h carried by a head ll forming a selector; saidhead being adapted to slide inguidcs h This head 1s movable so as to bring the plunger in line with any one of she registering arms h; said plunger resting upon a disk h"- on the upper end of the rod F so that when the latteris raised,

iis lowest position to cause the cum 5 lo engage the arms: the latter operation with drawing the arm 5' from the notch 25'.

While I have shown line structure forming the subject of my invention as arranged to measure and deliver half-pines, pints, uarts and gallons, it will be understood that in some instances the gallon may be omitted. In ibis case. the means for shifting "the bead H carrying the plunger h may be modified, as illusft'ated in Fig. B w'lierein llie slide H is shown as provided with teeth 3 to engage the teeth of a wheel actuated by the rod B.

In the drawings, li have illustrated lhe casing of the pump mechanism as extending entirely above a floor or platform, but in some instances part of the casing may e2;- lend below the platform, and the operating shaft C and handle C may be airtime extrenie upper end of the casing Willi the discharge nozzle a positioned independenily of the casing, as shown in Fig. 14. The design of she pump will be varied according :0 line use for which it is intended.

it will be seen by the above conslruclion that the pump discharges the liquid only on the up stroke, and that when the pump rod and its plunger return, the liquid passes the plunger through the openings for the check valves.

The operation of the mechanism is as follows: If the pump is to measure and register quasi-ls, for instance. the register-actuating rod l? is turned by ldieurnl F until the stop is in line with ilie arm 5 of the pump rod 33, and :1 container is placed underside nozzle (5. The crank handle C is then turned in {the directionof the arrow, which will cause pumprod B to more upwind carrying with it live plunger 63 lifting llie liquid in bib: cylinder D above the plunger and i;- lo lion oui of the nozzle (2.

As soon as 'us rod commences its upward inoreuuino, ine rocking lever enters one voi the notches in the disk 25 of the rod F locking lbs rod against further movement unlil she rod B has been returned to the position illustrated in 1. l l lien the arm f is engaged by the arm 7) it lifts the regisltenucsnuiing rod F and causes the disk 1 to raise the, plunger 71-; bringing it into engagement with one of the arms of the ree islering mechanism to register the quantify of liquid passing through the pump: the plunger ii' being previously adjusted lo its proper position through tile medium of the cum I which is uciuated by the mechanism controlled by the pump rodll. When the rcgiseer-actuating rod ll is raised, it not only raises the plunger h but also actuatcs tlie levers l'l', and Slllf LS ilie members mnnd m" of the double pawl m so as to allow the pump rod ll to return on revers lug die movement of the crank C. if, after measuring quarts, pints are to be measured then the arm F is turned so as to bring the stop 7'' in lines with the arm [6' on the rod. The pump can then be operated and will measure and register pints. Thus it will be seen by ilic above construciion iliat while all liquid passing through the pump is IIEERS' ured.v the amount pumped each time is reg-- istcred. so that for instance in bar work where half-pint, pint and quart bottles are to be filled, the number of ball-pints, pints and quarts are registered independently and by adding these several measures together it will give the quantily of liquid passing from the barrel or container through the pump.

The invenlion'can be applied to the mensuring of gnsolenc, oils, or other liquids, and

instead of being arranged to measure and register half-pints, pints, quarts and gallons, it may-be arranged for measuring and recording two, three or more gallons without departing from the essential features of the invention. While l employ an arm such as b secured to a movable portion of the pump ing device as the means for actuating the arms f. 7', f ,-it will be understood that llie arm could be made adjustable with respect to the pumping, device, or the arms f, f P. may be actuated directly from said pumping device, vitboul; departing from. the spirit of my invention.
